PostForum: Tech   Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2017 7:28 pm   Subject: Driveshaft Failure
I have never had a u-joint failure but have had failure of the rubber insert within the driveshaft. It would slip worse after bike had warmed up and progressively get worse the longer rode.

Yes the replacement will slip as well. I only slipped it once, will not make another attempt, I believe this is caused more from my riding style. Coming off a Vstrom 650, I was always grabbing a low ...
